Ferrari recently unleashed the stunning J50 Limited for Japan’s 50th anniversary. Its beguiling design nevertheless showed hints of Ferrari’s legendary classics including the targa body, which is basically the Dino 246 and 308 GTS from the seventies and eighties.

What is more interesting is that the F40 and F50’s “side slope mirrors” have somehow made a comeback. Sadly, the Italian manufacturer made only ten units of the Limited edition supercar. But it is also believed that the J50 will be very influential in designing future Ferraris. That is what we concluded when Ferrari referred to the J50 as the start of a “radically futuristic design language.”

Furthermore, it also stated that among the limited edition cars they have unveiled, the J50 obviously has the most updated design and may later serve as the basis for its future lineups.

When Ferrari unveiled its new limited series Ferrari J50 for the Japanese market, not a few were mesmerized by how splendid and gorgeous this exclusive super convertible is. The new Ferrari J50 is so impressive and marvelous that it left many wondering how it would look like if this convertible is a coupe. For that, we could turn to automotive designer Remco Meulendijk of RM CarDesign to render a coupe version of the Ferrari J50.

Ferrari launched the J50 super convertible to marks a new milestone – the Italian carmaker has been in Japan for 50 years. This limited series model -- a two-seater, mid-rear-engine roadster with a targa body and a barchetta form -- was presented at Ferrari‘s special 50th anniversary celebration at the National Art Center in Tokyo, Japan. The carmaker plans to produce only 10 examples of the Ferrari J50, each to be built according to the taste and preferences of their respective owners.

As Ferrari said, the limited series J50 supercar -- designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre team and built by the carmaker’s Special Projects department -- is based on the Ferrari 488 Spider. But as we know, the Ferrari 488 Spider is derived from the Ferrari 488 GTB. So, technically and indirectly, the J50 is based on the 488 GTB super coupe. It would be a great delight to see a J50 coupe that is based from a coupe-derived convertible.
